No Money no matter what

Don't get me wrong, I do not believe in sanctions or war against Iran either. However, it seems that people in Iran would go hungry with or without these threats. As soon as the country is able to amass any money, it all gets sent to Hamas or helping Hezbollah build schools and hospitals elsewhere. What about schools and hospitals in Iran? The economy in Iran is not going very well. Factory workers aren't able to rely on their promised income, because the economy is so bad, sometimes they don't get their monthly pay.

Yes sanctions and war is bad, and so is the Islamic Republic. Succumbing to either of the three translates to an equal amount of hunger and misery. Another solution needs to be found.
